Dandruff is a common disorder affecting the scalp condition caused by yeast
Pityrosporum. Dandruff cannot be completely eliminated but can only be managed and effectively controlled. The primary signs of dandruff are redness surrounding the scalp, itching of the scalp, and the presence of pieces. Two approaches exist for treating dandruff. These include of antidandruff shampoos with chemical bases and herbal bases that contain antifungal, antibacterial, and selenium sulphide, zinc pyrithione, and other antibacterial and antifungal substances. Among the hair care product categories, shampoo is one of the biggest segments. The majority of the substances in shampoos are chemicals, and because of the possibility of negative side effects, they have come under heavy criticism. This study aims to investigate the removal of hazardous synthetic components from anti-dandruff shampoo and their replacement with safe natural ones.
The goal of anti-dandruff products is to stop the development of dandruff flakes [1].
In both developed and underdeveloped nations, dandruff is a significant cosmetic
issue. Malassezia restricta and M.globoso are two types of fungi that cause dandruff.
It happens when epidermal cells on the scalp shed in bulk. About once every month,
the scalp's skin regenerates. Dead cells are typically excreted from the scalp in a

nearly imperceptible manner, but occasionally cell turnover becomes exceptionally
rapid and dead cells are released as visible flakes, which is known as dandruff.
Shampoos are popular hair products that clean the hair and scalp and come in
easy-to-use packaging. Additional uses for shampoo include lubricating, conditioning,
bodybuilding, preventing the buildup of static electricity, treating illnesses, and more.
The final need is that the entire shampoo formulation be long-term medically safe[4].
The manufactured herbal anti-dandruff shampoo was superior to commercial herbal
shampoo because it contains neem, a natural anionic surfactant with anti-microbial
and preservation properties

Herbal shampoos are shampoos infused with extracts of natural ingredients. The
best thing about these shampoos is that they yield the best and long-lasting results.
These Shampoos are free of harsh chemicals and cause no damage to the hair.

1. Henna (Lawsonia inermis)
Henna is derived from plants in the Lawsonia inermis family of the Lythraceae,
which also contain the colour molecule Lawsone, which, when processed, turns
into henna powder. Due of henna's innate affinity for the proteins in human hair,
the colour can be naturally "stain" onto the hair shaft.
2. Neem ( Azadirachta indica)

HERBAL ANTI DANDRUFF SHAMPOO
Blood purifier and beauty enhancer qualities have been discovered in the herb
Azadirachta indica, which belongs to the Meliaceae family.It is utilised for several
therapeutic applications. It is useful as a skin cleanser and in treating other
tea tree oil, is a popular antiseptic among herbalists because it contains unique
disinfection compounds that can reach the scalp's outer layers of skin, easing
irritation and fostering a healthier scalp.
4. Rosemary (Benincasa hipsida)
SAGAR INSTITUTE OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES ,SAGAR(M.P)
HERBAL ANTI DANDRUFF SHAMPOO
Dandruff can be effectively treated with rosemary (Benincasa hipsida), a common
herb. Several commercially available tonics, scalp care shampoos and lotions,
and hair growth products contain it.
5. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
Glycyrrhizin, which is found in licorice, has the ability to lessen the amount of
oil secreted by the scalp. There's a notion that suggests limiting the oils in the
scalp will lessen or even eliminate the symptoms of dandruff [12, 13-15].

6. Lemon (Citrus limon)
For dandruff and other skin issues, citrus—especially lemon—may be useful. It
helps to restore the skin's pH balance and has a high vitamin C content. To
make your hair silky and lustrous, try adding a few drops of lemon juice to an
herbal shampoo
7. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus)
Dandruff is also commonly treated with eucalyptus oil, another herbal remedy.
To eliminate flakes and treat dandruff, a few drops of the oil can be combined

with coconut oil and massaged into the scalp. Should be used one or two times
a week to avoid developing new issues.
8. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum)
Another well-known herbal cure for dandruff. This plant's seeds are softened before being applied as a poultice to lessen dandruff
Method of preparation:- 1. Weighing:- Using a computerized balance, each essential herbal ingredient for the creation of
shampoo was precisely weighed.
2. Extraction:- The required herbal ingredients for shampoo formulation were extracted by decoction
process.
Decoction is an extraction procedure that has been used especially for water soluble
and thermostable constituents. In this case, the crude plant is boiled in an open-
type extractor that contains a specified volume of water and the process lasts for a
specific time period.

is added to the mixture.

II.EVALUATION TEST FOR SHAMPOO
1. Visual inspection The created formulations were assessed based on their fluidity, clarity, and capacity
to produce foam[2].

Fig.1. Visual Inspection
2. Foaming ability and foam stability:- Foaming ability was evaluated using the cylinder shake method.3ml of shampoo was
taken, and 10ml of water was added to dilute it. Shake the cylinder vigorously in
under a second twice, then leave it alone for 15 uninterrupted minutes. After shaking,
the total volume of foam content was measured. Only the foam volume was
computed. The amount of foam produced immediately after shaking was measured
four times, every one minute. The foam volume remained constant over the course
of around 5 minutes, demonstrating that the shampoo's foam generation process
produces foam that is both stable and exhibits higher foam properties, possibly as
a result of reetha.

3. Determination of PH:- The pH of 10% v/v shampoo solution in distilled water was measured by using calibrated pH.
Fig.3.PH 4. Percent of solid content:- Weighing a piece of dry, clean china, we added 4 ml of shampoo. The shampoo-
filled dish was weighed. It was computed how much shampoo exactly weighed. The
shampoo-filled porcelain dish was placed on the hot plate and left there until the
liquid evaporated. After drying, the weight was calculated[3].

5. Wetting test:- The length of time the canvas paper needed to soak up all the water was determined
as the wetting time. A disc with a 1-inch diameter was made from a piece of canvas
paper weighing 0.44g.The canvas paper disc was placed over the shampoo (1% v/v)

surface, and the amount of time it took for the paper to sink was calculated using
a stopwatch.
Fig.5.Wetting Test 6. Stability study:- The stability of the formulation was studied for a period of 4 weeks by keeping at
temperature of 25-30oC. The shampoo is free from microbial contamination and
remains stable at room temperature.
7. Surface Tension:- The cleaned stalagmometer was filled to mark A with the prepared shampoo that
would be tested. The amount of drips that the liquid will produce as it travels from
mark A to mark B was then computed once it started to rain owing to gravity. To
determine the mean value, the process was performed three times. The surface
tension can then be determined using the formula.

III. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
A straightforward mixing procedure was used to create herbal shampoo. Herbal anti-
dandruff shampoo was created by adding the necessary amount of herbal ingredients
according to the formulation table. The tests used to evaluate this produced herbal
shampoo are listed in table no. 2 below. The creation and evaluation of a natural
anti-dandruff shampoo made using Shikakai Powder, Reetha, Aloe-vera gel, and
other herbs are the focus of the current effort. This natural anti-dandruff shampoo
was made utilizing the continuous stirring method and sodium neem extract. The
manufactured herbal anti-dandruff shampoo was put through several tests to

determine its effectiveness. The results showed that it was affordable, effective at
treating dandruff or dermatitis while boosting the natural health of hair and making
it shine. Therefore, it was determined from the current investigation that the formula
for the herbal anti-dandruff shampoo has an excellent standard. The manufactured
herbal shampoo was discovered to be in compliance. The formulation's pH range,
good stability, cleaning ability, foam generation, and viscosity.
